Sale (4-2) had his perfect game broken up by Mike Trout with one out in the seventh. The 24-year-old settled down and finished a one-hit, complete game shutout. He struck out seven and did not issue a walk in 98 pitches. It was his first career shutout and his third win in his last four starts.

Sale has not lost a decision since April 18. He will get another crack at the Angels Friday night at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. He is 1-2 with a 4.56 ERA in four starts away from U.S. Cellular Field.

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
Gutierrez ran the bases for the first time since being placed on the DL Sunday. Wedge will not bring him back the Mariners until he proves ready to play every day.
"I'm hoping we can start [a minor-league rehab stint] at the end of the week," Wedge said. "But I'm not looking for him to come back just to be OK to play. We've done that and it hasn't worked. When he comes back, he's got to be ready to go. So we'll let that dictate how long it takes."
